You should not face the future alone; contact a birth injury lawyer at The Law Offices of John M. McCabe today to file your claim.

What is a Birth Injury?

A Birth injury is an injury that happens to the baby during the birthing process. Birth injuries can cause lifelong pain, suffering, and disability. The birth of a child is a miraculous, beautiful event. However, when something goes wrong, it can turn a family upside down and cause immeasurable pain. When a preventable mistake injures your newborn, the future you envisioned for your child can instantly disappear. You may also quickly become overwhelmed with bills and caretaking duties. In many circumstances, not even the most careful and cutting-edge obstetric treatment will be able to prevent birth injury. Whether it's negligence or carelessness, birth injuries shouldn't happen.

How Much Does a Birth Injury Lawyer Cost?

Lawyers who focus on birth injury lawsuits work on a contingency fee basis and represent victims of medical misconduct. When plaintiffs claim that negligent medical care contributed to their child's birth injury, legal action can be taken. We will not charge you a penny at The Law Offices of John M. McCabe unless we win a settlement in or out of court.

Why Hire a Birth Injury Lawyer?

No parent goes into labor expecting it to cause damage to their newborn. Parents trust their chosen doctors to protect them and their baby from pregnancy to delivery. When something goes wrong and it's not handled correctly, it can result in devastating birth injuries that can last a lifetime. Birth injuries can cost families thousands to millions of dollars during their child's life. A birth injury lawyer will fight for medical costs to compensate for pain and suffering.
